What the film shows
  1. A woman works at a laptop at her desk at home, then a man works on his laptop on the sofa.
  2. A man walks between glass office buildings, then a woman with a coffee arrives at an office entrance and looks up.
  3. A team talks around a table in an office, a man smiles by an office window, and a woman in a blazer works at her laptop.
  4. A light sweeps across the 3D Rolevara door R, with warm light in the doorway, then the Rolevara logo and tagline.

Job simulator for IAM, GRC and PAM

Know you can do the job before you get it.

Work a realistic identity service desk and audit team. Set up and remove access, run access reviews, contain compromised accounts and prepare audit evidence, then see how every decision holds up.

The ticket queue showing a new incident, Dormant account signed in from unknown IP, traced back to an earlier decision.
Video description
  1. The queue has one ticket left: a caller claiming to be the CFO wants MFA moved to a new phone before a wire deadline.
  2. The analyst starts work and opens the first hint, which costs 10% of the ticket's score.
  3. The caller's employee ID (10020) doesn't match the directory (10002), so the ticket is escalated to the Security team and rejected.
  4. The ticket is graded 9 out of 10: every check passes, less the hint penalty.
  5. Later in the shift, a stale account left enabled earlier has been used in a password spray, and lands in the queue as a new incident traced back to that decision.

How it works

Learn by doing the actual job.

One company, one live service desk queue. No slides, no multiple choice.

  1. Step 1: Take a ticket

    Requests arrive from HR, phone calls, security alerts and access reviews, just like a real service desk.

  2. Step 2: Do the work

    Enable, disable, reset, change groups and job data, set expiry dates, revoke sessions or escalate.

  3. Step 3: Get graded

    Every ticket is scored on the outcome and the process, with the control behind each decision.

  4. Step 4: Live with the results

    Tickets stay open until they're actually fixed. Miss something and the requester replies, or it comes back as an incident. The GRC track then audits the shift.

Paths

Choose your path

Pick a path when you open the app and switch any time. Each path keeps its own progress, and all three are free.

  • IAM

    Identity and access management

    Work the Pacific Crest service desk: joiners, movers and leavers, caller verification, access requests and compromised accounts. Tickets stay in the queue until they're actually fixed.

    IAM only
    Work the queue until it's clear, then a shift summary.
    IAM + GRC
    The same shift, then an optional audit of your own work.
    IAM track details
  • GRC

    Governance, risk and compliance

    Take the auditor's side: walkthrough, sampling, control testing, evidence, findings, risk ratings and management's response, with the NIST, HIPAA, ISO 27001, SOC 2 and PCI DSS requirements behind each decision.

    GRC only
    Audit Jordan Reyes, a simulated IAM analyst whose shift includes realistic mistakes.
    IAM + GRC
    Audit the shift you just worked on the desk.
    GRC track details
  • PAMEarly access

    Privileged access management

    Just-in-time elevation, break-glass accounts, credential rotation and privileged session review.

    In development
    PAM joins the paths as it's released.

What you'll practise

The work employers hire for.

Every scenario is graded on what you did and how you did it, and mapped to the controls auditors test.

  • Provisioning and lifecycle

    Set up, change and remove access for joiners, movers, leavers and rehires, using the company's role-based access matrix.

  • Access reviews and SoD

    Spot separation-of-duties conflicts, revoke what a review flags and approve requests with a clear paper trail.

  • Privileged accessEarly access

    Grant just-in-time admin rights, handle break-glass accounts and review privileged sessions.

  • Incident response

    Contain compromised accounts, MFA fatigue attacks and activity from people who have already left.

  • Audit readiness

    Test provisioning, termination and review controls against the audit log of the shift you just worked.

  • Coached, not handed answers

    Hints cost points, and the tutor asks the questions a senior colleague would instead of giving the answer away.

Companies

Six companies. Six rulebooks.

Each company has its own applications, access matrix, separation-of-duties rules and regulations, so no two shifts feel the same.
